She does lead for progfolk band Spirogyra and on National Health's debut. Fantastic voice.

Check out these, all great an non-operatic: 

Cos (two first)
Catherine Ribeiro + Annes
Saint Just (First great, second good)
Faun Fables
Trader Horne
Babe Ruth
Mad Curry
Shampoo
U Totem
Affinity
Frumpy
Catapilla
Etron Fou Leloublan
Apotesi
Analogy

Borderline operatic, but excellent:

Eskaton, Art Bears/Slap Happy/News From Babel
Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

By the way, if the bands/musicians use a singer in an album, more than 30% of lead vocalists are female in my collection of 2006 purchases. I don't think they are rare ....

Barbara Gaskin from Spirogyra (you can also hear her voice in Hatfield and the North). But in Spirogyra she really shines, in my opinion. And the voice seems quite normal, by the way...
 
My favourite female singer...

Dagmar Krause. She tops every female singer I've ever heard. Specially good in Henry Cow's "In praise of learning"; in every Art Bears album, and project from that point on.

She's certainly not the easiest to listen to, though.

Dagmar Krause was a member of the band "The City Preachers" in the beginning, which had a 2nd great female vocalist: Inga Rumpf. she later became singer of the bands Frumpy and Atlantis. at least Frumpy should be in "Prog Related".  Atlantis hardly has any prog relations. I highly recommend the live albums of Frumpy and Atlantis

BTW, Apoteosi are from Calabria, where my father was originally from... nice land of wonderful, knife-happy people!TongueWinkLOL

*composes herself, remembering her Admin role*

I love low-pitched female voices, having one myself... though not as powerful as I would like. However, there are some notable exceptions... Two  great vocalists that come to my mind are Pentangle's Jacqui McShee and Fairport Convention's Sandy Denny (both are in PA's database) - though my own personal favorite is, of course, Kate Bush.

Donella Del Monaco of Opus Avantra.

I recommended at all Progsters this album:

Limmagine%20“http://www.donelladelmonaco.com/rewiews/venetanima/cover.jpg”%20non%20può%20essere%20visualizzata%20poiché%20contiene%20degli%20errori.

The reasons is specified in the songs and in the booklet.

For buying this masterpiece please visit: www.donelladelmonaco.com

A couple more Canterbury ladies: Barbara Gaskin (worked with Dave Stewart) and Carol Grimes (Delivery) . Surprised no mention of both the original and the better known Renaissance ladies.

Judy Dybell (sp? the original Fairport Singer), and did what are effectively demos fof some tunes that appeared on the first King Crimson album - found on the Brondesbury Tapes (Giles, Giles & Fripp). Annette Peacock, Sidsel Endresen voices of jazz rock fusion (cf. the likes of Sarah Pillow, sometime collaborator with Percy Jones' Tunnels, is most definitely opera trained).

If you want to include Grace Slick, then it's also worth reminding of Pat Benatar...

Also in the area of RIO/Canterbury check Elaine De Falco (Hughscore) and  Amy Denio (Tommy Tipton's Memorial, EC Nudes/ Fred Frith).

 I don't know if she could be considered a prog artist. She was indeed mentioned on this site but note that the first 2 RTF albums, though being progressive in essence, were not prog as in jazz-rock/fusion. She indeed happened to have a very warm vibratoless 6-octave range voice. By now I have 3 of her solo albums which I happen to enjoy very much now, and they constitute a 50% of my listening time.
